Let the Players Play!

[artlax]

will be playing three - count 'em - three BAM games tomorrow. They are resting up right now before a final walk through later this afternoon.

LET 'EM PLAY!!

I like both forms of EF personally but I'm a noob.

In those flip the switch and let it ride matchups you won't see many players swarm on a receiver like you would in real football is one reason I'd vote for stoppages.

The other reason:
I can only think of the Ben Watson strip he put on Champ Bailey in the 2005 playoffs, when Ben was COMPLETELY out of the play. This kind of situation would rarely if ever happen in EF unless you did shut a board off at some point. These plays are amazing and I think you have to let the players play...with some inteligence. Otherwise you're really limiting the abillity of your tallented athletes by letting them run into the wall for five seconds when they could have been the guy who saves the game winning TD, or makes the game winning catch (if you use passing sticks that is...a player out of bounds can't catch bals no?) I say let em play! But givethem brains! One stop at most...no multi-stops.

A good compromise might be to limit pre-snap adjustments to force the game to go faster no?

I'm ShaynDaPain and I approve this message.

Anthony:

You demonstrated your style of play to me. It is very well-thought out, organized and effective.

However, I still prefer to let the players play.

The key here is that the EF/MF world is big enough for both styles.

Carpe Diem,

Shayne...shaking the box gives you those freak occurrences you are looking for....that is how the Shootout system and others do it.
